"'One of the most notable develop ments in the piedmont section of the Carolina is the movement which has just started looking toward the dred ging of some of our. filled up streams and the redemption of thousands of acres of as fine corn land as there is in the "country,' declared a gentle man this morning who keeps a watch ful eye on the economic developments of this section. The conversation was anent the recent organisation in Gas ton eoanty of the Crowder's Creek Dredging Association, which proposes to have a dredge built and redeem th bottom lands that flank that stream. When one speaks of reclaiming land the mind naturally turns io the east ern swamps, but as a matter of fact several hundred thousand acres of the finest land in the country "needs red district Saturday night and locked up . il. . n... s . .. . .1.. . .L. .1 1 1 t. 1 - claiming in the Piedmont section of both the Carolinas. .The riMt hottnm lands bordering the rivers and creeks of the foothills have been rendered unfit for cultivation by the filling up of the various streams, every freshet now overflowing and runining crops mat , would give abundant- yields otherwise, s The dredging of these streams prevents these frequent over sows ana renders the land fit for cul tivation. : .: :" ' - 1 : - The first dredging that was done in this section was in Clark's creek in Laneoln and Catawba counties in .North Carolina, "when a number- of wealthy -landowners l purchased - .a dredge and began operations as an ex periment. Several thousand acres of rich land was redeemed and land that was be fore 'quoted at just a few dol lars an acre cannot be purchased-for less .than $50 and $100 an acre. So wen did the project succeed and so comparatively eheap is the work that a few other sections are taking hold and investigating the matter. In some counties the county commission ers are investigating, but it is prob able that in most instances the land owners will tarry the work through.

Police Bail Poplar Dnc Firm Into , ' Court. Quite a sensation was sprang Mon day- irhen two drug clerks and the firms for which they work were indict ed Tqr selling whiskey, says the Char lotte correspondent of the Greens boro News. The young men are Messrs. C. P. Montgomery and Ken driek Webb, and the firm they work for. is the R. H. Jordan Drug Com pany, one of the most popular 'drug stores in the city. -. The warrant against the company as' a corporation charged it with sending out whiskey on prescriptions witoout properly labdung the bottle. The warrants grew out of ft capias ad testincaodum . which was served on George Brown, after the adjournment of the recorder's court. . Brown was arrested in the red light on a charge of drunkenness, two large pint bottles of whiskey being found on his person when arrested v At the trial the court asked bim where he got his whiskey. He answered that he got it on a doctor's prescription, getting one pint Saturday afternoon and another pint shortly after mid night. Upon this testimony City At torney Delianey requested magistrate Scullion to issue' a capias ad testifi candum. At the ad testificandum pro ceedings Brown gave testimony which the magistrate ' deemed sufficient to issue warrants for the clerks and the firm. : -v::' Brown testified that the prescrip tions were telephoned to the drug stores by Dr. J. W. Summers, of Da vidson, otf Saturday evening, and that one pint was delivered by Mr, Mont gomery at the time of the phone mes sage, ihe other pint was delivered about 1 o'clock by Kendrick Webb. The bottles bad no labels, as required by law, which prescribes that the bot tles shall bear a label setting forth the name of the' firm selling the liquor, the date and number of the prescrip tion, the doctor and the amount and dose of the contents. -i Brown created another near sen sation when be testified on the stand that after getting the whiskey Polioe- 4H.trft..ut s drink. ; Luckey was on duty at the" time, '., and if it can be established that be imbided he will immediately oe dropped rrom the force. The exe cutive board will doubtless call an investigation. Church in Charlotte Struck by Light ning. - While the congregation of East Av enue tabernacle, in Charlotte, was worshipping Sunday night, just after the preliminary services and as Rev. J. G. Kenedy was preparing to begin bis sermon, a stroke of lightning ac companied by a terrific crash of thun der,, struck the church steeple and knocked a large hole in it, shaking the entire structure. The lights were cut off at the same instant and the con gregation was terrified by the blind ing crash and the darkness that fol lowed. Several women gave vent : to bud screams ; when it was realized that the church had been struck, and it was at first thought that many bad been killed or shocked by the light ning. . Dr. Kennedy calmed the congre gation, however, and by his calm ex ample soon set bis' flock at ease. Can dles were secured from a bouse next dcorand it was quickly learned that no one was hurt and the pastor contin ued his services. The damage to the steeple was comparatively small and is being repaired. ' - 1 , 'v Some Fine Grapes. Capt." Jonas Cook, who has the rep utation as the best grape raiser m the county, brought to our office to day a bunch of grapes ?that would take the premium at any fair. It looked like the pictures you see in the nursery books. The grapes were of the Campbell's Early variety rhich is a cross between the Concord and Muscat Hamburg. The flavor is some what like that of the muscadine. The bunch Capt. Cook brough us weighed 10 ounces, and -some of the grapes were seven-eighths of an inch in di ameter. ' ' Mr..
